"Where's JC?" Lance asked, looking around.

"Um, I think he's still in Brandi's room." Susan replied.

"Still!?" Justin exclaimed.

"Hey man, leave him alone. At least he's finally not moping around here." Chris said.

"Guys, stop it. Be nice - he's your friend." Grace said, giving them a Look.

"Yeah man - wonder what he's doin in there!" Joey said, wiggling his eyebrows up and down at his friends.

The only response he got was a light, playful punch in the stomach.

"That's my best friend you're talking about too." she reminded him.

"Sorry babe. Didn't mean it." he replied, giving her an apologetic kiss on the cheek.

"Just don't let it happen again." she joked, pretending to punch him again, but catching him with a soft kiss instead.

"All right, you two. We'll probably see enough of that with JC and Brandi." Susan kidded.

"Yeah, that's so sweet, I think I'm gonna puke." added Chris.

Everyone laughed, and they returned to searching the t.v. for something good to watch.

"You guys, check this show out! Man, is he for real?" asked Lance, staring intently at the screen.

"I know! What up wit dat, yo?" Justin replied, his eyes never leaving the tube.

Grace, Joey, Susan, and Chris joined them. They sprawled around the living room and settled down to watch the show.

About an hour later, Grace stood and stretched. Yawning, she said, "Come on guys, we should go to bed if we wanna show any sign of life tomorrow."

"Um, do you think we should, uh, go get them?" Chris asked, looking at Brandi's door.

"Naw, leave 'em alone." Susan said, ushering them down the hall to the guest bedrooms.
